Nice units. Very clean. Universal location. Be reminded your neighbours (5-6 other units) can see and hear everything you do and vice versa.
The pool wasn’t heated. After several talks with manager finally agreed the pool heater was turned off or broke. I would confirm pool temperature PRiOR to booking.
Units have ample amenities. Everything else worked as advertised.
This property is in a great location for quick access to blue water, near several charter services, tackle shops and within a stones throw from several great seafood restaurants.
Just a beautiful home with many places to go for a good time. Pool was great and jacuzzi was wonderful! Nice quiet area with lots to do! Will definitely return!
This is great location with an incredible view of a bay just off of Vaca Cut. We didn't have a boat, but would be even better with the dock on the property. Mangroves on side of property across from canal make this feel very secluded and natural, there is a mangrove island you can kayak or paddleboard around.
unkept. moldy pillows , broken screen door , broken dryer , broken blender, roaches everywhere, sink sprayer not functioning .Black mind in showers and tubs.
property manager responded but overall interrupted our stay … we declined exterminator , as this should have been done before our arrival.
